peath Of Jenny Lind.

Jenny Lind (Afadame Goldschmidt), the
celebrated Swedish singer, who had been
seriously i'll for some weeks, died on the
2nd insta in London.
Jenny Lind, who has universally been
known as the Swedish Nightingale, . was
born in S~tockholsi. When she was vet
only three years old to sing was her ruling
passinn-every melody that struck her ear
was retained with I'm accuracy which
caused general admiration.
She WAS placed under the care Of Eras-
mus Berg. aprofound and skillful musician.
After studying under him for several years
the Stockholm public was astonished one
night at the appearance Of a child in a
vaudeville performances. This was Jenny
Lind, who at once became Il favorite.
When in Paris Jenny met Meyerbeer, the
celebrated composer, and two years later
he Invited her to Join the opera in Berlin,
and in 1914 she vent to the Prussian cap
ital and afterwards to all the European
capitals.
In 1910 p. It. BarnHm, the well known
Snowman, conceived the idea OF bringing
her to this country, After considerable
negotiation he agreed to pay Miss Lind the
then astonishing price Of $1,000 each for
100 concerts, he to have the option ol
closing the engagement alter $50 had been
given. The gross receipts Of the concerts
were $712,1 61 .of which Miss Lind received
$17G,975, and Mr.. Barnum $535,4S6.
After her marriage she, with her husband,
returned to Europe. They lived in Ores
den for some time, and in 1856 returned e
London.

Anarohlets plead for Merov.

On the Sd inst, in Chicago jail, Spies,
Fielden and Schwab signed a petition
humbly begging the governor to commute
their sentences. They are the only ones
Of the seven who have not written letters
to the governor that they would not nc
cept communications OF their sentences.
The signatures OF Fielden and Schwab
were secured by Capt. Black and l..
ID. Oliver. All sorts OF entreaties were
adopted to get Spies to sign the petition,
but he resoiutely refused to do so. as did
also Lingg, Engel. Fischer and Parsons.
At $50 p. A.. the same petitions were
brought to the Jail by DR.. Schmidt, Aid,
Frank Stauber and II. Linnemeyer, with
permission from the sheriff to con.
fer with the condemned men.
George Schilling arrived later. Ii was
plain that Spies had weakened since the
morning conference. They read the petition
over several times. After an hours plead.
ing Spies said. "Well, give rne a PEN and
with a flourish his name was appended be-
low. The visitors then turned their atten-
ton to the other four men who have writ
ten letters declining executive cleinency,
but eonld not induce them to sign.

Washington Dispatch: The utmost sat.
isfaction is expressed at both the interior
and war department over the receipt of a
telegram Monday the It'll. from Gen. Terry,
giving the result oil the fight with the Grows.
The following was also received from In
dian Inspector Armstrong at the Grow
agency:
The refractory Indians are all delivered
and in the guard house but one. He will
be delivered tonight. The leader was killed
in ~ skirmish yesterday. The rest OF the
Crows iR camp are quiet and submissive.
No more trouble need be feared. The Crows
will be peaccable and contented in the fu.
ture. The whole matter has been wellman-
aged and successfully terminated by the
troops. Gen. Ruger agrees with me in the
suggestion that the prisoners be sent to
Fort Smelling at once and held until fur.
ther disposition is decided upon.
In the absence OF Secretary Lamar,
Chief Belt, OF the Indian division OF the
secretary's office, expressed the opinion
that the death 81 Sword Bearer would
practically end the Crow trouble. He ex.
pressed appreciation OF the active meas.
ures taken by the military authorities un-
der Gen Kruger, and believed that theCrows
would feturn TO their old allegiance to tho
whites, and that the moral effect would be
wide and permanent.
From Crow Agency: Corporal Charles
Thompson was buried here with military
honors. Twelve Indian prisoners have
been ironed at the post blacksmith shop.
The body, OF a squaw was found near the
battlefield, killed by the explosion Of a
Hotskiss shell. The Indian village was
in a state OF excitement on account
OF the spirit OF Sword Bearer,
who had promised to come
again and lead them out Of the
trouble. Chief Plentycoues, who, with
five warriors, arrived at the agency, says
III he had been there he would have per-
vented the trouble, His followers, four
hundred in number, reached the agency.
Generals Kruger mud Dudley remain in the
field where all the fourteen troops viii re-.
main until the annuities issue is complet.
ed and the Indians dispersed to their
homes. 1t is reported now that twelve In.
dians were killed, but their bodies have
not been found.

settIers on indemnity Lands.

Washington Special: Regarding the
matter Of ind emnity lands and the appli.
cation Of the law OF 1887 tn them. Secre-
tary Lamar says:
There is a question. as TO this applica-
tion, and / have submitted the law to the
attorney general ior an opinion as to
whether the right to purchase lands ac-
quired from railroads applies to indemnity
Withdrawals. In the meantime / have
directed the commissioners of the gener al
land office in my order giving force to
these r~evocations Of Withdrawals, to
have lists Of all selected railroad

wise occupied. Isuppose this order has
been carried out. lit has, settlers on
Northern Pacific lands have some notiica-
ton and should be forearmed.
The secretary declined. until he had re-
ceived an opinion from the attorney gener-
al on the law, to make known his view,
but il is believed that he takes the view
that the law. OF 1887 was intended to COW
er indemnity lands. thus giving purchasers
from the road the right to purchase from
the government.

by his previous note on indemnity lands
written to this gentleman:
1t appears that the position III this OIL

ed to say TO yon that actual settlers on
restored lands within railroad indemnity
limits who have purchased the lands from
the railroad companies cansecure title from
the United States not exceeding 100 acres
under the settlement laws, IL qualified to
make settlement under those laws. The
provisions OF the act OF 1887 allowing
bona fide purchasers from railroad com

at government prices lands within the rail
road grants not conveyed to or for the use
OF the railroad companies, but which were
excepted from the operation OF the grants,
is construed by this office to relate exc
clusively to lands in granted limits and
not TO lands in indemnity limits.
The latter are not granted lands,
nor are they lands excepted from the
operations OF tine grants; and purchasers of
such lands from the railroad companies
are not purchasers in good faith in a legal
sense. Some title vests in a railroad com
pany to granted lands by virtue OF the
grant, but no such title vests in indemnity
lands. These must he patented and certi-
fed before q railroad company has any
thing to convey in respect to such lands.
Personswho purchase lands within indemni.
ty limits before they have been patented or
certified to the company, do so at their
remedy against want OF title, and not to
the United States government. Purchasers
after patent, whether Of granted or indem-
nifty lands, are protected by the act OF
1887, whether settlers or not. Purchas
ers OF lands within granted limits,
where the lands were excepted out OF
the grant and were not occupied
by settlers ut the date OF purchase,
and which have not been set
tied upon subsequently, to Dec!l, 1882, by
persons claiming to enter the same under
the settlement lave OF the United States
may, under the act OF 1887, purchase such
lands from the United States at govern
ment prices, Under the act Of Jan. 10,
1881, actual settlers on any lands that
have been withdrawn for railroad pur.
poses, whether within granted or indemni.
ty limits, and who have exhausted their
homestead presumption or timber culture
privileges, are allowed at any time within
ninety days after restoration to purchase
from the United States the lands settled
upon and improved by them not to exceed
100 acres at $3.50 per acre.

peadIx sneotIna al Eau cLaIre.

Eau Claire Special A quarrel between
Edward Richardson OF st. Paul and Frank
Hanson, proprietor OF the Galloway honse,
Thursday night the Sd, resulted in the
shooting OF Richardson, who died at
1890, and Hanson may die. The quarrel
occurred in the corridor OF the hotel. No
one saw the parties when the shots were
fred. The men had been talking in a
friendly manner in the hotel Office. and
Hanson had offered Richardson a cigar.
Richardson went into the corridor. and
Hanson a few moments after followed in
response to a call. Several shots were
then heard, and Hanson staggered out
with.a bali in the abdomen. Richardson
had received two balIs-one in the head be-
hind the right ear and the other in the
region Of the heart. RICHARDSON remained
totally unconscious. Hanson could
speak, but would say moth
inc as 20 the circumstances.
Two years ago Richardson, who vas for
merIy steward in The Galloway house, was
divorced IRON his wife. Henson married
her and took charge OF the ~nine-year-old
daughter Of Richardson. The latter had
long been trying to get the custody OF the
child and IL is supposed came here with
that object, Al travelling nan who was In
the hotel Office a few feet from the corridor
said he thought Richardson had shot
Hanson and then shot himself. Some say
three shots only were fired and others say
four or five.

The state has no money on hand or ia
prospect to meet an extraordinary ex-

Gov. MccIH viii Not Call an Extra
Sassion.

In response to calls for an extra session
OF the Minnesota Legislature to consider
the inequalities Of the judicial and repre-.
sentative districts of tho state, and for the
purpose Of providing for the removal OF
certain county seats, Gov. McGilt said
to D. reporter;
Ihave already had under consideration
tho question 81 an extra session 81 the leg
islature and deeided against it. There are
two principal reasons urged for an extra
session. First, to redistrict the state and
reapportion the senators and represen-
tatiYes, as provided by the rom
stltution. and second, to enact o law pro-
viding for this removal Of county seats.
AS TO the first. It will be remembered that
I sent a special message to the legislature
last winter, pointing out in considerable
detail the striking Inequalities Of the dis
tricts as They now exiBt and urging the
legislature by every consideration otiustice
and fair dealing to pass redistrfctinglaw.
The proposition received littls or no favor 10
theeenatee andi 1t Was we'll understood thata
large majority Of the senator's were OPP
posed to it. ! do. not suppose q single
senator has changed his views on the sub
iect. and. Judging BY their treatment az il
at the last session, do not deem it with.
in the bounds az probabilities that they
woGld pass a rediatrieting bill II called IN
extra session. At the next regular session
no doubt such q bill win be CONSIDERED and
pnssed,
